O cials unveil Kingwood High School ood barrier project
Humble ISD o cials celebrated the completion of a $28 million ood barrier project at Kingwood High School on Feb. 23—more than six years after Hurricane Harvey ooded the campus with 5.5 feet of water in August 2017. The overview Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said the project included the installation of: • Flood gates at each entrance of the campus • Barriers surrounding the exterior of the building • Flood-proof windows While the ood barrier project cost around $28 million, HISD o cials said the cost of campus repairs from Harvey came out to more than $56 million. O cials noted the Federal Emergency Management Agency covered 90% of the total cost, with the Texas Division of Emergency Man- agement and HISD covering the remainder.
A closer look Doug Coenen, who works with engineering rm Walter P. Moore, said the ood mitigation improvements will protect the campus from up to 8.5 feet of oodwater. To achieve this, Coenen said ood-proof barriers were installed along the exterior of the entire campus. Additionally, he said 3-inch glass windows set within heavy-duty aluminum frames were installed to prevent them from shattering in the presence of oodwater. Coenen said ood gates were also installed at each campus entrance that will automatically activate when water is approaching the building. “We may not be able to prevent future storms, but we can take steps to ensure that the impact does not have the same impact that it did in 2017,” U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R Houston, said during the Feb. 23 ceremony. “I think that’s what we’ve done with this amazing project.”
